I've read once it's one octave difference between some brands.
Someone on #lad said yamaha is one octave off from about everyone
else. I guess that would be one octave up. Depends on if the first
octave is 0 or 1(?).
Then, if I'm writing an application and want
to conform to the
majority of apps, what do you and others here find the most usual.
Let's take midinote 60 (sits on the middle of my evolution
keyboards), what would you call that? C5?
My Korg M1 and GEM S3 deem it a C4.
AFAIR, so does Cubase.
On my Yamaha S30 it's C3. So the range of a piano is A-1 to C7.
This is also the notation used by rosegarden and muse...
